Cultural History of Demons – Going Deeper into the World of “Demon Slayer”
The highly anticipated new season of "Demon Slayer" is just around the corner, set to premiere globally on May 12th! So, I figured this would be the perfect timing to delve into the cultural history of demons in Japan.
What were the roots of the demons in Japan?
What role did these supernatural beings play in the Japanese culture?

I hope this episode will add a new angel to the Demon Slayer and allow you to enjoy the story with a much deeper perspective!
